MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[Becyboo__x]

I would say its normal .. everyone is different though so its hard to say if its good sign or not .. Ive had constipation a few times in my cycles and not led to anything .. usually though I have excess gas which I was sure was a good sign but iv realised its not really well not for me anyway ..

Sorry can't give you yhe answer its a hard one

There is a list if symptoms on countdowntopregnancy.com and the percentage of women who reported them early in their pregnancies. Pretty much anything at all you can find as a symptom. For as many women who were constipated, an equal(ish) amount had diarrhea. Some were sure they were out and others "felt pregnant." So even though I've had a few "symptoms" I'm trying not to read too much into it. Just hoping my temps stay high, which they are right now but every month my chart has looked like that. The tww just sucks!

Btw, my highest temps are only around 97.8, which is the same as other ladies low temp. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just my normal and therefore ok?

I'm so annoyed with myself. I have a week to go before af, and no symptoms so then why OH WHY did I test this morning just to see a BFN which I knew I was going to get???????

OFFICALLY CRAZY!!

Why does ttc make us (sorry I am including any non crazys!) so silly .

You are right there are sooo many symptoms out there that "could be". That is why I am just going by my own cycles, and what ever is either not normal for me or the same as a cycle with a BFP. Every women is so different!! But it is fun to bounce ideas off each other.

As for your temps, you should worry about the average temp because again every women is different. We sleep at different temps, some sleep with less on, or a thinner blanket, or vice versa. So I wouldn't worry too much unless you have great difficulties with getting PG then you can take you chart to your specialist and maybe they can tell you what is going on or run some tests.

Hey everyone! Oh the tww goes on forever! However IMO waiting to o was worse so I'm happy.
No real symptoms, odd cm though - creamy/stringy? (Tmi!) thick and white but stretches? I've definitely ovulated 5 days ago so who knows. I dont usually track cm this closely aftrr ov, this is our first month ttc. I'm eating pineapple with abandon (supposed to help with implantation) and that's about it!

@pennymarie I've been looking for some information for you. I am including links to sites that may help.

Link One: speaks to the issue of Louisiana's medical plan and a law that mandates coverage for diagnosis and treatment.

Link Two: listings and reviews of fertility clinics/doctors in Louisiana.

Link Three: how to boost progesterone through food.

Link Four: how to test for low progesterone.

Link Five: a blog from two women who struggled with low progesterone, difficult doctors, and found success.

Hope it helps somewhat.

This is all so helpful!!!
I'm showing DH as soon as he gets home, especially the laws because that means we've been lied to or deceived to.

Originally I'm from Arizona, and everything down here just seems so backwards. I'm just not familiar with the way things are done here

If anyone is familiar with temping ..

I need a quick question answering, I got told if you temp earlier or later to use bbt adjuster online ... But I'd like to know what others would advise ...

I take my temp at 7am every morning but today I had a rough night didn't manage to sleep till around 2am .. so I overlayed until 10am.. and took my temp then .. it was 36.8 which I was happy about as it was on the up and staying high but I did the adjuster and it said 36.47 as it was 3 hours off my usual time? ... By using that temp my temp dips so indicates af .. so it bummed me out obviously ..

Just need to know which temp to use

I Never adjust my temps. I just don't think they are very accurate. Since this us during ur ttw, it doesn't make too much difference. (ive had af show up while temp is still high.) I'd use the actual temp and just make a note. If it was during a fertile time, I'd still use actual temp and mark it as disturbed for a few days and see if it makes sense with the surrounding temps. If it does, undisturb it. If not, keep it disturbed. But this close to af, I'd just use it and see what happens.

Yay!

Honestly it could just be the way we are, the environment in which we sleep. I've always thought I should switch to vaginal temping. But I worry so much is why I'm concerned.

A comforting thing to do is search FF charts for successful pregnancies with low bbt!!

I'm starting to hate temping! I know I've had a few things that could be disrupting it like illness/lack of sleep and a teething, co sleeping toddler on occasion but I keep worrying about my chart all the time and how it looks. My cycles are 37-43 days so I know I'm not due to ovulate for a good few days but doesn't my chart look weird compared to others?

 

[OurLilFlu]

Ya tell me about it... I was sick and thought for sure I O'd regardless because the temp stayed above my old cover line even after I felt better... So I decided to discard a few temps and see if ill O in the next few days. Freaking frustrating

If you throw out the 96F (the really weird low one), then I think it would look fine. Maybe that night you had your mouth open or the therm wasn't working quite properly? Have you considered vaginally temping?

Side note: does anyone know how to get rid of the hollow marks? There is no reason it should be less accurate. They were all at the same time: 6am

 

[burgbrandy]

Make sure all the times are set the same and are u tracking other symptoms? If u mark illness or disturbed sleep or anything like that, it gives u an open dot.

Ur chart looks great! Don't stress. Its not the individual temps that matter. Its the overall pattern.

YAY! that was it. I had sleep deprived. I am, but I always get at least 4 hours before temping

Discarded that temp and it looks much more 'normal' now, thank you!!
